It's unbelievable how long it took for me to visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar considering how much I've wanted to for so long. The photos I've seen were lovely and the place is just full of history. I would have to say that Jerry Acuzar, the owner of Las Casas, has done something quite … Continue reading Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar

A recent visit to Cebu has got me reeling in travel feels of incomprehensible amounts. I love Cebu! Seriously! After having gotten back to Manila, I was already planning a return trip in my head. I saw my cousin recently and when she asked me where to go in the Philippines, naturally I told her … Continue reading 5 Things to do in Cebu

Summer would be a bummer without a little beach reprieve. Lucky for us we have more than 7000 islands to satisfy our summer craving. But not every getaway is as accessible from Metro Manila. So here's a list of summer destinations that are not too far and are actually easy on the budget.

I'm in this semi-unpleasant phase of planning my trip to Thailand. There are certain pros to this of course: I get to choose where I go, what I see, how much I spend, and so on. But it can still be a pain in the ass. I'm taking a break from all the planning and … Continue reading Planning Your Trip

Bolinao isn't the kind of place we'd normally go to. My friends and I are beach bums and happy campers who sleep in tents and go to places that have no network signals and no toilets.

Pizza Volante Where to … Continue reading Baguio: Resto Round-up 2013

It has been made even more famous by the Santorini-like villas of Bellarocca but for backpackers like myself, nothing compares to the rustic getaways that Marinduque … Continue reading Marinduque

Our third day was well spent in the vast grounds of Ocean Park in Hong Kong. It looked just as big as Disneyland from the entry point but it was thrice as big (I think).If you have the time and the energy, you should really make a point to see all the parts, shows, and … Continue reading Hong Kong: Ocean Park + Macau

Hong Kong is a really gorgeous city to get lost in. It's a jungle of pedestrians and commuters, shoppers and visitors. The stores were a mix of restaurants and boutiques with their neon signs suspended almost across the street. What's really enjoyable about Hong Kong is getting the watch the people walking by. There were … Continue reading Hong Kong: Roaming the Streets + Day 2
